What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy — short for proliferative therapy — is a regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to repair damaged ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. A solution (most commonly dextrose — a sugar) is injected into the affected area, triggering a controlled inflammatory
response that attracts the body’s repair cells to the site. The result is strengthening and regeneration of the damaged tissue. At Nexus Pain & Spine, Mumbai, we offer prolotherapy as part of our non-surgical pain management approach.
How Is Prolotherapy Different From Steroid Injections?
Steroidinjections workby suppressing inflammation—they provide faster,but often shorter-term relief. Prolotherapy, on the other hand, works WITH inflammation, using it as a catalyst for repair. It addresses the underlying structural weakness, not just the symptom. For many patients with ligament laxity, early
arthritis, or tendon damage, prolotherapy provides more durable long-term results.
Conditions Treated With Prolotherapy
- Chroniclowbackpain and sacroiliacjointinstability
- Knee osteoarthritis and ligament laxity
- Shoulder pain — rotator cuff tendinopathy, labral tears
- Hip pain — labral tears and early osteoarthritis
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis)
- Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy
- Cervical instability and neck pain
- Herniated disc (early stage)
- Sports injuries — ligament and tendon sprains
What to Expect From Prolotherapy
The Injection Process
Prolotherapy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Using ultrasound guidance, a solution (dextrose with local anaesthetic) is injected into multiple points around the damaged structure. You may feel a temporary aching or pressure at the injection site.
After Treatment
Some patients experience temporary soreness for 24–72 hours after the injection — this is the expected inflammatory response that drives healing. Most patients require a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results.
Results
Studiesshow 70–85% of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain experience significant improvement with prolotherapy. Results continue to improve over 3–6 months as tissue remodelling occurs.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
Prolotherapy is best suited for patients with chronic pain from ligament, tendon, or early cartilage damage who have not found lasting relief from physiotherapy or steroid injections. It is a natural, low-risk treatment with no systemic side effects. Book a consultation with our prolotherapy specialists in Mumbai to find out if it is the right option for you.
